FreeBSD mentioned as supported for Swift 6.2

In the WWDC 2025 video "What's new in Swift" at about 23m00s it is mentioned that FreeBSD 6.2 is a supported platform for Swift (as well was Wasm). I tried to find more information about this as well as builds (forum, google, duckduckgo), but found nothing new. Is there more information about this? I searched the forum, but wasn't able to find recent information. Is there any more information about this?

I have been tracking this page: Swift on FreeBSD · GitHub

I'm reading this as "Apple will dedicate development effort to ensure that Swift builds on FreeBSD and that toolchain packages are available for FreeBSD" but that effort is still in progress.

I just want this now, but also OpenBSD. Fine, I’ll be patient.

Open is getting pretty close. I'll try and get an end-to-end WIP port available within a few weeks, but there are still some subtle bugs to hunt down.

Pretty sure from discussions with Apple people on the swift team, it will be done when 6.2 ships.
